records is possessive and should have the apostrophe, addresses is not possessive and should not. This class of typo is pretty common throughout the briefs I have looked at.

Numbers related to the outbreak that are meaningful without denominators (since we don't have any and won't until long after things get back to some semblance of normalcy). Seems like this would be hospitalizations (due to covid) and deaths (due to covid). Those are numbers where the volume (as opposed to the rate) are the signal.
